Adjustable Air shocks?!?

[Comet2Galaxie]

I know this has prolly already been asked but where can I find some good quality adjustable air shocks?!? I own a 1963 galaxie 500.
Thanks!!!!!

Unless things have changed, no one made air shocks for the pre 65 Galaxie. I worked in a parts house years ago, and was asked that same thing alot. And I own a 64 and I could not get them for myself. However I did once have a guy come in and go though my shocks and got a set to work on a 62 Galaxie, I wanted to know what he hd used, so I took a look at his car and got the #'s off the shocks and they were for a 65 Galaxie, he had mounted them upside down to fit.

The only company I know of making airshocks right now is Tenneco and maybe some Arvin inventory still floating around. Neither one is what I'd consider a quality shock. KYB's are decent, have you checked to see if they have something?

Airsprings (helper bags) would work much better and last longer, check out Air Lift for those.

Not all shocks can be mounted upside down, namely twin tube gas-charged type. Monotubes can be mounted upside down, twin-tube non-gas (hydraulic) don't work any way you mount them...

Sorry, I did not say that mounting them upside down was VERY bad idea, but it is a bad idea, not something that I would do.
